Just took a day to play before diving into my next few jobs. This started from a snippet of a dream I had, but it ended up somewhere else. It sorta reminds me of colorforms. Remember those? I loved those. The story always changed depending on how you stuck the shapes to the backdrop. I [...]

Gosh! It seems like everything has come alive in the last few weeks–both in the garden and in our community. So many gatherings with friends, hikes, picnics, campfires. It’s so beautiful and feels so good! Yesterday morning, I moved my yoga practice outside, and had a really nice sunrise session with two friends on a [...]

(click to see better…) 1. When I was little, I would sit in a box and draw pictures. 2. I had a Papa Smurf Doll that I LOVED. I remember giving him hundreds of beard trimmings ’til he had a charming five o’clock shadow and little white beads snowed out. 3. My dad had this [...]

Patrick whisked me away from the house/studio on friday to spend a whole weekend in town. It felt great to be “on foot”. Oso’s nose led the way. We walked everywhere. In tall pines, down ‘county roads’, ’round the center of town and thru the awesome architectural ‘door’ place. The textures and colors were treasures. [...]

I think spending was in my astrology last week, and since I obviously ‘went with the stars’ I’m just happy I spent my pennies wisely–on books! Oh how I love books. And oh, how I splurged! They all arrived yesterday, and I’ve been reading them (some several times) and looking at all the illustrations and [...]

Wow. There is nothing like driving to the post office (on a cloudy, cold day) to sign for a SURPRISE package with a gorgeous, inspiring painting inside from a super sweet friend. You rock, Katherine! I only questioned for a split second why I was the special recipient–I was mostly giddy and big-eyed. The spirit [...]

Sorry to exclude my brothers out there. This is for sisters only. Maybe next time. I know y’all are itchin’ for summer time and sleeping under the stars and breathing some fresh mountain air. Well, at least I am. I’m dreaming of doing yoga barefoot in an open meadow, sitting in prayer in front of [...]

I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since I posted. I returned from the islands last week and hit the ground running (and snow-shoeing!) and am trying to hold on to the calmness I felt being near the ocean. It was just what I needed. I feel renewed and re-energized despite feeling a little [...]

It was fun to read all the comments on the eject post-it-note post. Seems like some of you have been in that same place before, and others are maybe standing there present moment. A friend (who is maybe standing some place in between, or rather staring at her eject button from a distance but not [...]

When we were playing at the City Museum in Stl–surrounded by so much funky ART–Patrick said he wanted our house to be MORe fun (like the museum). (Hey! “fun” is my favorite word. Patrick claims it will be our kids’ first word someday.) He went on to dream up this spiral slide coming off the [...]
